| Description: | Category 5 includes species that feed primarily upon aquatic invertebrates that have limited mobility but tend to be patchily distributed, such as crustaceans, echinoids, clams, and oysters. The chief difference between this dietary specialization and feeding category 1 is that the invertebrate prey tends to be less mobile. The walrus, Odobenus, is a prime example. |
